After 3 years of working as a Sales Engineer, Yap Boon Seng felt that it was the right time for a change in career. “I was in search for a career that was more challenging and that would force me out of my comfort zone,” Boon Seng mentioned. So, in 1998 he took the plunge and became a registered Real Estate Agent.

Boon Seng noted the initial challenges faced in his first few years as a real estate agent. “The property market is always progressing and changing every year. To keep up to date and stay relevant in the industry was a challenge. You need to be able to adapt and reinvent constantly,” the OrangeTee Senior Associate District Director recalled.

Having joined OrangeTee in 2004, Boon Seng has been with the company for 13 years now. He attributes the company, and also his mentor, Lawrence Tan, for helping him achieve success within the real estate industry. “I am pleased to have grown with the company from strength to strength,” Boon Seng mentioned.

Besides this, Boon Seng also noted how OrangeTee is the only real estate agency to have its own building. “This is very advantageous for agents as it provides them with fully - facilitated one stop service centre. OrangeTee has also invested heavily in Information Technology, and today I am proud to say that we are the front runners in this aspect,” Boon Seng quipped.

Last year, Boon Seng was awarded with the Champion Top Senior Associate District Director 2016. “The past year was a tough and challenging one for my team and I, so receiving the award was a very satisfying moment for us. I am very proud of them, and this experience has not only boosted my spirit but also motivated me to continue reaching for greater heights and success. I really owe it to my team associates and managers for a job well done,” Boon Seng said. He also shared how he was grateful for having team members who were highly - spirited, loyal, sincere and cooperative, citing how a few of them have been under his wing for the past decade.

When asked what keeps Boon Seng motivated to succeed in the property market, he shared how he enjoyed helping his customers and clients find and invest in the right property. “It feels good knowing that you can add value to someone’s life by providing solutions to them,” Boon Seng enthused.

To those looking to enter the real estate industry, Boon Seng advises that having the right attitude and the willingness to constantly learn, while keeping abreast with the changes in the industry, are imperative traits to become a successful real estate agent. “Technology is disrupting the industry as we speak. There are tonnes of innovation taking place every day. The last thing you want is to get left behind.” As for agents looking to join Boon Seng’s team, he assures that every new agent will receive a personalised coaching from him. “The wisdom and knowledge that I have gained throughout the years, are what I am able to impart to younger agents. Money can never buy experience,” Boon Seng shared.
